Check out Sunn's Dømkirke recorded live in a Norweigan church, one of the oldest in Norway I think. Great recording and sounds otherwordly. As good as any as an intro to Sunn.

hi guys, i'm looking for music similar to early my dying bride and anathema. i'm thinking crestfallen era anathema, and demo/first album era my dying bride. stuff that is still somewhat in death metal territory, but definitely knows how to slow it down and have beautiful melodies. other records that i like that are close to what i'm looking for are on the doom side of things: saturnus - paradise belongs to you & mourning beloveth - the sullen sulcus.

Definitely check out Virgin Black's Requiem Fortissimo, basically an ode to Lost Paradise, As the Flower Withers, Crestfallen, etc..., really good stuff. Also, Pyogenesis' first EP was doom/death with some gothic influences, but still had a number of mid and uptempo death metal sections with a nice and thick Entombed style guitar tone.

American doom/death usually carried a bit more death metal character than the UK stuff, so definitely check out Avernus' demo material (Sadness... is a masterpiece IMO), Novembers Room's first couple of albums, Morgion's Among Majestic Ruin, and anything by Dusk. I would also like to plug my friend's band Necare, which was deeply influenced by early Anathema, and my band, Nevertanezra. We definitely prefer to keep a little death metal in the doom/death equation, as many of the bands playing the style these days are more gothic/doom bands with death vocals. I hope these help.

Looking for some epic doom bands in the vein of Russia's Scald. I already know a selection of bands, such as Solitude Aeturnus, Candlemass, Solstice, DoomSword, Mael Mórdha, Wishdoom, Gods Tower and Ereb Altor, but Scald just seems to be different than a lot of them. I'm not entirely sure why, probably the vocals (how they transition from lower operatic stuff to the high epic wail and the very heavy rich-sounding guitars). Anyway, any recommendations for bands or individual albums similar to Scald would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Also awesome, just more funeral doom/death as opposed to standard doom/death. Transcendence Into the Peripheral, Embrace the Emptiness, and Epistemological Despondency are some of my favorite doom albums.

I am looking for non gothic death/doom. I am familiar with the following bands, asphyx, disembowelment, winter, evoken, autopsy, shroud of the heretic, druid lord, morgion, cianide, coffins, hooded menace, indesinence. I am not looking for funeral doom just some other solid death with heavy doom elements. any help is appreciated.

I have never been able to get into doom metal, although I did enjoy Tales From the Thousand Lakes, if that counts. I'm looking to change this- I'm not familiar with any doom metal bands, so I'm mostly just looking for a place to start. Keyboard and clean vocal use (esp. female) would be greatly preferred, and melodic playing in general.

Blood Ceremony has clean female vocals and occasionally use organ, but there is a lot of flute, if that would be good. Here's song where organ is utilized to great effect:

Check out Castle and Witch Mountain, both favorites of mine (both female fronted) at the moment and they're touring together in oct/nov! They don't have keyboards (cause keyboards in doom is gaaaay! well, in trad doom for sure!)

drone: no idea Would be interesting to hear.

The Slow Death are death/doom, so they have a male vocalist doing growls, but the central focus is the clean female vocalist. Also, there are keyboards.

Hot damn, I just heard Black Moth's full-length for the first time, this is absolutely fantastic stuff. Is there anything else like this out there? It doesn't have to be female-fronted, but this style is fucking awesome.

Does anyone here like Rose Kemp? I really enjoy her last two albums, Unholy Majesty and Golden Shroud. The former is sorta folkish doom/rock, while the second one is rather unconventional stoner/drone, and the woman is an amazing vocalist to boot. Oddly enough, I haven't seen any comments regarding her 'round these parts.

I am a big fan of post-metal and atmospheric sludge bands. I love bands like Neurosis, Isis, Cult of Luna, Pelican, Rosetta, Callisto, Mouth of an Architect etc. I wanna get into sludge metal. So recommend me some sludge bands that can be used as gateways to sludge from post-metal. I'd prefer something depressive in nature

i dont really know any "gateway bands" from post-metal to sludge, i am sure their are tons of them i just dont know them. But i would bite the bullet and jump headfirst in to the sludge starting with classics like eyehategod, grief, and iron monkey

Maybe Snowblood, Kongh's first demo, Batillus and Walk Through Fire's "Furthest From Heaven"

There's nothing gay about keyboards in any form of doom.

It was a joke, dude.

Thou for sure, their first lp tyrant is a great mixture of harsher sounds, but still melodic and with build ups like MotA. This is, without a doubt, exactly what youre looking for. One of my favorite bands, you'd have to give tyrant a real listen, then move on to Peasant, the split with Leech, the split with Moloch and the split with Salome. Summit is great as well, but as an album just not as good as the other two.

Okay guys, I want something very simple; basically, anything that has tons of Candlemass/Solitude Aeturnus influence, but make sure that it also uses tons of synths and/or keyboards (if they're Hammond organs, then all the better). Thanks in advance!

Already familiar with them Morphine, sorry. Besides, I don't see them being very similar to either Candlemass or Solitude Aeturnus (actually, the biggest comparison I can draw is a doomier Fates Warning).

it's Epic Doom with tons of keys; true I didn't see much further and didn't think of the similarities they could have share with both Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus.You know Atlantean Kodex? Pretty impressive German Epic Doom band. And I'd say, although I won't pretend they make a heavy use of keyboard, Check out Evangelist also. Very reminescent of Candlemass.
